1990 Peugeot 205 review from UK and Ireland
"You'll be better off with a 206"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This is actually my second 1.6 auto, first one had a carb. problem. It used to stall all the time and I thought I'll get a younger one but still the same problem. Second car now is a write off because it stalled on the motorway. Other than that the usual; pads, discs and regular visits to local garage to clean the carb.
General comments?
If you gonna buy a Pug don't buy an automatic 205(with the exception of 205 gentry 1.9 limited edition, only 400 made it to the UK). You are gonna be better off with something else. Also the local garage tells me that it is quite common for 205 carb auto models to stall. Doh!
